- dimmuborgir 15y agoThe article is old and it quotes an unnamed 'survey'. I'm reminding you again, the discussion here is about progression of India from its own past but you're either coming up with figures for some particular year or some senseless comparison with other countries. In other words, you're simply trolling.
